Songs Not On The Wedding Crashers Soundtrack

“Wedding Crashers” is a movie that relates the story of two divorce mediators, John and Jeremy, two males, singles in their 30s, whose their true and only hobby was to crash the weddings. The plan was going perfect with their attending to important weddings that they would eventually crash and get some customers for their divorce mediating business. But as every bad thing which has an apex in its unfolding, there is a moment that comes and brings the bad thing to an end, this moment arriving with the two men falling in love, this love teaching the two men some lessons about relationships and commitment to love.

You and your future husband have already seen the movie, you had some laughter going on with the unwinding of the plot and enjoyed as well the soundtrack of the film, soundtrack that contained songs like “The sound of settling” by Death Cab for Cutie; “Love underground” by Robbers on High Street; “Aside” performed by The Weakerthans, “I hope tomorrow is like today” – by Guster, “In the summertime” by Mungo Jerry, “This modern love” by Bloc Party and so on. The idea of the movie appealed to you and you started to see it as the theme of your wedding celebration. You’ve been thinking to add the two characters of groomsmen in the role of the two wedding crashers, trying to put some make up on them in order to look as replicas of John and Jeremy – wearing the same costumes and having their hair done to match the looks of the two male characters.

It is the note of your wedding reception that you have thought of being funny and at the same time different than any other themes of reception parties. So further on you see your reception unfolding in a note of entertainment loaded with jokes cast by the two males who start to mingle into the guests crowd and try to interfere between couples, inviting the maids whenever it is inappropriate. All this staging is done with a help of a friend of yours who is studying the art of directing and since no one knows that this is meant to be played, you plan to stay it this way till you see that they can not go further. It’s an idea related to ‘candid camera’ sort of thing as you plan to have it recorded on tape as well.

But next you think of coming up with songs not on the wedding crashers soundtrack, because if you use those specific songs people might get into some ideas, and the surprise of a ‘candid camera’ effect won’t be there any more. But at the same time you need to have funny songs that will enable the two “clowns” to perform their show. Browsing lists of funny or worst wedding songs ever, you find some songs not on the wedding crashers soundtrack, songs that might apply to your staged atmosphere: “Who let the dogs out” – by Baha Men, Vanilla Ice’s “Ice, Ice Baby”,  ”Shake Your Booty” by KC & the Sunshine Band, “Taxi” – by Harry Chapin. Some lyrics of these songs are not quite the best choices for a formal wedding, but as long as you decide on the funny note, then almost everything is possible; your guests will understand it and will enjoy the atmosphere at its maximum!
